For December 6, 2024, the fishing scene in St. Augustine is looking promising, despite the cooler temperatures.
### Tidal Report
Today, the first high tide was at 8:31 AM, and the next high tide will be at 8:50 PM. The tidal coefficient is high at 75, indicating strong tides and currents. Low tides were at 1:56 AM and 2:49 PM[2].
### Weather
The average temperature in December is around 61.9°F (16.6°C), with highs reaching up to 67.3°F (19.6°C) on warmer days. Expect a mild day with temperatures likely in the mid-60s. Water temperature is around 66°F (19°C), which is ideal for several species of fish[3].
### Sunrise and Sunset
Sunrise today was at 7:04 AM, and sunset will be at 5:25 PM, giving you about 10 hours and 20 minutes of daylight[2].
### Fish Activity
This time of year is excellent for catching red drum (redfish), sheepshead, and speckled trout. Redfish are active in the cooler waters, prowling the shallows and marshes for crabs and shrimp. Sheepshead are flocking around structures like docks and bridges, while speckled trout are abundant, especially when using live shrimp baits under popping corks[5].
### Catch Report
Yesterday saw a mixed bag of catches, with several anglers reporting successful catches of redfish, sheepshead, and speckled trout. The redfish were particularly active in the marshes, while sheepshead were caught near the docks and bridges.
### Best Lures and Bait
For redfish, use a jig or a mud minnow, especially near inlets and around docks. For sheepshead, live or frozen fiddler crabs work well. Speckled trout are best caught using live shrimp under popping corks[5].
### Hot Spots
- The marshes around the Salt Run and the Matanzas Inlet are great spots for redfish.
- The docks and bridges along the St. Augustine waterfront are excellent for sheepshead and speckled trout.
Overall, it's a great day to get out on the water in St. Augustine, with favorable tides and active fish. Dress in layers to enjoy the mild winter weather, and don't forget to bring your favorite lures and baits.
